Branduil
Hero
I haven't started actually designing any powers or abilities yet, but I'm thinking about making a Barbarian class. Here are some ideas I've been playing with in my mind:
Primal Defender
I envision two paths; A "bloodthirsty brute" path focused on strength, with a lot of powers having extra movement and power-attack type effects; and also an "intimidating bulwark" path focused on con powers. I'm picturing lots of powers that trigger off being hit by the enemy and intimidating them with the way you nonchalantly shrug it off, then use their fear as an opening for attacks.
Rage kicks in when you're bloodied- you get +2 to attack and damage rolls, and -2 to all defenses. You also get a bonus number of temporary hit points equal to your CON score. When in rage you can only use powers with the keyword "Rage."
Unique marking ability- Rather than marking an opponent, the Barbarian can mark allies. As a minor action, the Barbarian can mark an ally within Wis mod squares. Any time that ally is attacked, and the Barbarian is within 3+Wis mod squares, as an immediate interrupt the Barbarian can move into the ally's square(pushing him to one side), and instead of receiving the enemy's attack, he makes a basic melee attack against the enemy.
These are just some ideas I've had, if people like these concepts and want me to I'll start writing up powers. Suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.
